In order to go on a bus tour with a vacation at sea, you need to love this kind of vacation. If everything is in order in this part, then Bel-Orientir is really a professional in his field and, in my opinion, exactly the operator to whom it is worth contacting for a tour of this kind. It feels like their tours are author's and are formed (adjusted) based on the experience, reviews and interests of tourists.
It should be understood that the Greek route is difficult, at least because there are two countries that are not part of the EU (Serbia and North Macedonia) and these are additional borders, at the intersection of which you can stand for both 20 minutes and 4,5,6,7 hours (greetings to the Serbian-Hungarian border). This moment did not bother us or upset us, because in the end we got an incredible Balkan flavor! The operator competently approaches the choice of transit hotels. There are 6 of them on the route. Serbia is the worst, according to our company, but this is not the fault of the operator, but the specifics of the country. This is how the service works in this country. But the beauty of the landscape in this country is incredible! North Macedonia is a highlight of transit stops. I want to go back there and find out-to see more. Well, Greece. Greece is beautiful. And the sea in Greece is even more beautiful. The vacation at the sea was from September 12th to 19th. The sea was warm all the days. It was calm for three days, three days with waves. It feels like 25-26 degrees. There was a little rain on the last day. And it was wonderful. Our company stayed at the Pappas Hotel. About 1-1.5 km from the center of Loutraki. The choice was deliberate. We knew that you could get there either by taxi (we never used it) or on foot (every day, 1-2 times a day we had a mandatory walk). A small stretch of road without a sidewalk, but there was no criticality in this. The territory of the hotel is one continuous island of greenery. There are actually only hotel residents on the beach. The sun beds are free, there is enough for absolutely everyone. The beach is different (fine sand + pebbles, large pebbles, concrete). Everyone will find it to their taste. The water is the purest. There are no marinas, so there are no boat stops, which was a plus for me). Great pool. Breakfasts and dinners are varied (the main thing to remember is that this is not Turkey according to the all-inclusive system, but Europe and then there will be no complaints). Perhaps I would like more fruits. The hotel is half renovated, half not. We lived in the old part. Very clean, after the renovation it will still be beautiful and modern. The distance from the hotel to the sea is one minute.
Tour manager Alina. An excellent specialist who always answered any questions. Special thanks for the seating arrangement.
Drivers and the bus. The bus was quite new, Chinese (unfortunately, in real life it is almost the best thing on the market). Considering that the bus is Chinese, you should not count on wide seats. The air conditioner was working properly. No one will ever choose the ideal temperature for 40 people, so there will always be those who are cold, those who are hot and those who are fine. The drivers were professionals and very serious. Everyone shouldn't like them, but we loved them anyway)))). Their task is a safe road and everything was fine with that.
Well, the travel guide is Sergey, no, SERGEY PROKHORIK. If someone, while looking for a big tour, a small trip or an excursion around Belarus, sees this name and surname, feel free to go on a trip! A person who is in love with his work gives, as it seemed to our company, a piece of himself on tour. Very sincere, funny, with a wonderful sense of humor. He will always come to the rescue and help solve almost any problem. He won't be boring at all. And thank you so much for such an incredible and warm attitude towards the child. He will remember you for a very long time, just like all of us!
Thank you for 14 days of incredible emotions!
We will definitely be back!
We had a vacation in Greece in early September. The bus tour turned out to be wonderful! The weather was great, the bus itself was not very comfortable, but the company on the bus was just wonderful. The hotel also pleased me. The guide Sergey coped with his duties perfectly, was always positive and ready to help. The only drawback was the delays at the borders in Poland and Hungary, but overall, the trip left a very pleasant impression, and the whole family had a lot of fun.
The tour "There is no such thing as a lot of Paris." I really liked France!
+ A lot of free time, they offer a program with a group, but you can also walk and visit museums yourself
+ A good escort, interesting stories
+ Everything was done according to the program, despite the long passage of the border
+ Excellent price with included excursions in the tour
+ Booking seats on the bus for free
+ Apply for visas themselves without an agency
- not the best bus, there is very little legroom even for short people
- it would be better to have one specific stop for lunch at a cafe than 5 stops for snacks at gas stations
Please, more tours where there are 4-5 days in one city, because this is the only way to experience the life of the locals and do everything in time :)
We rested with Bel-Orientir from 06.06.2024-07/18/2024 Alps of Italy and Austria tour with a vacation on the Ligurian coast of Italy. The guide was accompanied by Sergey Prokhorik, a professional in his field, he told interesting, easy, unobtrusive stories)) You won't have to get bored with him, it's guaranteed) a fun guide!!! The bus is new, comfortable, and the interior is always clean. The air conditioner worked perfectly, everything was regulated as needed. Drivers Yuri and Gleb are masters of their craft. We helped with loading and unloading luggage. We were very satisfied! Lots of cool experiences!!! We plan to continue traveling with Bel-Orientir!!!😀👍
We recommend the Normandy & Champagne trip.
We chose the White Landmark by accident (another campaign canceled the tour where we signed up. and your office is just next to your house) and you didn't regret it.
The program is well thought out (we got an impression of the regions of France), and the agency behaved competently at the preparation stage. The only thing that is not very clear is how much it makes sense to translate documents for the embassy. Therefore, if you translate yourself, please specify, otherwise you will translate more like me :) But: thanks to Alina, she took into account all our wishes, we received visas. In addition, thanks to the office for taking into account mom's age when making lists for seating on the bus.
As for the trip itself: if you are ready for the specifics of bus tours, then Bel-Orientir offers an excellent and high-quality product with an optimal price-quality ratio, which we, of course, appreciated.
Our guide Anna was not the most involved person, but she organized everything competently, there were no failures at all, we separated from the group without any problems and walked by ourselves. We appreciated Anna's flexibility and organization, thank you very much, it was important for us.
The only wish: the bus in Europe was not the most comfortable both in terms of free space and in terms of air conditioners, which were too actively working.
Thank you very much again, we will keep track of your other suggestions 🙏🏻
A trip to Italy is a great opportunity to spend a beautiful and memorable vacation. The tour "Italian Felicita with a vacation in Anzio" is above all praise, I am grateful to the organizers for the splendor that you allowed me to touch! I really dreamed of seeing Italy, attention was attracted by a trip to Tuscany, but still the heart of Italy was more attracted and the tour "Italian Felicita with a vacation in Anzio" from the tour operator "Bel-Orientir" looked the most colorful for me, and I am SOOO HAPPY with my choice! And now, I know for sure that I will definitely turn only to you next time and definitely, Bel-Orientir is the best tour operator! Managers are wizards! I was very impressed by the excellent organization of the route, the whole trip is built, in my opinion, so that the impressions are breathtaking — EVERYTHING IS GREAT! Starting from the first second, when our, as it turned out, wonderful group took their seats on the bus and up to the moment when the bus returned to the Minsk bus station. Our entire fascinating voyage included the cities of Poland, Austria, the Czech Republic, the pearl cities of Italy and - this is an endless set of historical monuments and masterpieces of world art, beautiful works of architecture, religious shrines, places where films were shot... and the sea, the sea, the sea (the azure coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea). There are countless vivid emotions and breathtaking impressions from what you saw on the tour. But with all the charm of Italy, it is very important who and how will present all that this country is rich in... I absorbed the unique energy of history and art with city guides, according to the tour program and the best guide who deserves special words of admiration… The tour guide accompanying us throughout the trip, Irina Bushkevich, exceeded all my expectations. Personally, and with all responsibility, I want to note that our entire group was listened to, informative and interesting to the core, with humor and, most importantly, she has a pleasant voice and is a very sincere person. Her professionalism, kindness, friendliness, openness, excellent command of Italian, such deep knowledge of culture, traditions and history of Italy are IMPRESSIVE AND EXPENSIVE! Irina is impeccable in her field, definitely!To be honest, everything I learned about Italy during the tour with Irina enriched my knowledge so much that everything related to Italy fell in love for a lifetime.
I am very pleased that the agency cooperates with really professionals, in particular, drivers, who allowed me to enjoy the splendor of the expanses of Italy and many countries along the tour route, the whole way we were accompanied by an atmosphere of comfort and lightness. I am immensely grateful for the professionalism and for your cordial attitude to the work of Irina, Pavel and Sergey. I recommend going on a tour from Bel-Orientir in the organization and accompanied by these wonderful masters of their craft! Italy is a unique country of beauty, art, gastronomy..., do not miss the chance to visit this amazing country and discover all its splendor!
Italy is a unique country and the Magnificent Seven tour from 02.01.2024 allowed you to enjoy it to the fullest. The road to Italy, despite its length, turned out to be easy thanks to the wonderful drivers and interesting thanks to our guide Sergey. All the hotels were cozy, clean, with friendly staff and excellent breakfasts. The excursions in all cities were informative and interesting. Our group tirelessly flew through the narrow streets and majestic squares, striving to capture in their memory both St. Mark's Square, the Rialto Bridge, the Vatican, St. Peter's Cathedral, and the Colosseum...- the program of our trip was so intense. It feels like the Bel-Orientir team has invested all their soul and knowledge to create and implement this tour. Many thanks to Lydia and Olga, this love story of travel began with their light hand. Professionally! Competent! It's amazing! We have already recommended this tour to our friends and are dreaming of a new trip.
Many thanks to Sergei Prokhorik, a noble and humble Man. Sergey provided assistance to complete strangers who were not tourists of his group. There would be, but more of them! With such an escort, you can go to the end of the world!!! Wishes of only Goodness and Light! 💞😍😘
23.08 I went on a tour - Myths of ancient Greece. I liked everything, the organization of the tour is good. The only negative is the Bakos Hotel. Very interesting excursions along the route. Special thanks to the head of the tour, Sergey. Thanks to him, the tour was very easy and interesting, the organization was on the level, helped to solve all problems. A very sympathetic man with a good sense of humor). The drivers are also great guys, real professionals in their field. The next tour is only with Bel- Orientir and of course with the guide Sergey. Thank you very much for the rest!!!
A small and cramped office. A very close-knit and interested team of professionals. Not standard tours, well-chosen hotels. It is immediately clear that they developed it themselves , and did not spy on someone. I definitely recommend it to everyone. 4 stars, only for a small office. It's very crowded in there.
I went with my favorite travel agency on 02/15/2023 to the Carnival tour!!! I received a lot of amazing emotions and unforgettable impressions!!! I have already been on the 8th trip from Bel-Orientir, and I really hope that I will go again, because there is an excellent team of professionals working here!! The tour itself is built with a trip to the best cities in Europe where bright and festive events took place!!! He's just super!!!! My favorite Venice, Nice, Monaco, Menton, Graz!!!! I want to come back to these cities again and again!!!!! I would like to thank the tour manager, Lydia, for her attentive and responsible attitude to clients. Also note the good work of the drivers, who were responsive to the requests of tourists and always helped on the road with luggage. And of course, special thanks to the tour guide - Dmitry!! Charismatic, sociable, an excellent storyteller with knowledge of history and unusual facts, with a good sense of humor!! A professional in his field who loves his job, a sensitive and tolerant person!!! Thanks to his work, my journey has become more memorable and impressive!! Thank you all so much for a great stay!!!!
Both the service and the staff are at the highest level, the only company that competently approached the situation with the border and arranged everything for people, thank you for checking into the hotel
Thank you so much for the professionalism of all employees: from the office to the guides! Always in touch, always with a sincere smile, they will answer all your questions. A luxury tour with a stop in Paris for 3 days is just a godsend.The program is so intense that you wonder how we put it all in one trip)) I want to return to the city and to them) The program and guides in the cities, transit hotels, an accompanying guide at a height! The time was spent with benefit, pleasure, a lot of impressions, information and emotions! Thanks!
I went on a tour to Greece in August "Rest at the foot of Olympus". I want to say a big thank you for the organization, she was at her best: a comfortable bus, everything is clear on time. Also, special thanks to the guide Elena-the soul of the company and a professional in her field. I would like to go on a similar tour again. The tour fully corresponds to the stated price
During the autumn holidays of 2022, they enthusiastically rolled out a chic tour with the sparkling name "The Magnificent Seven". I thank the organizers of this wonderful trip, the Bel-Orientir company. I give five stars for a lot of positive emotions during those memorable days on the road - on the way to Italy and back. The team has worked at 100,500+ percent. The guide and drivers are excellent in their field. A lot depends on their work on such trips. Otherwise, the success of the event is determined by a positive attitude, which is strongly recommended not to forget on the dusty shelves at home, but to take with you, along with luggage and all necessary documents.
02.07.2022 we went on the ALPS OF ITALY AND AUSTRIA tour.
A wonderful trip, beautiful cities, interesting excursions. Thanks to the guide Dmitry, a real professional, smart, polite. A very interesting man. Thanks to the drivers Yuri and Sergey. Thanks to the work of such professionals, the trip turned out to be amazing. Unfortunately, Agent Lydia did not take her job responsibly. Due to the agent's shortcomings, we had problems with insurance and the seats on the bus were not the ones we had booked.
At the end of July 2020, we went on a tour of Belarus. Everything was organized perfectly. A good bus, accompanied by competent and competent Belmov-speaking staff from the tour desk. We were satisfied with the trip. I recommend.
Managers are real professionals in their field. They explained everything very calmly, in an accessible and understandable way. We took the time to answer all the questions. Thank you. And hello, Italy!!!)))
Competent specialists who do their job very efficiently work here. They take care of tourists both in the office, during the selection of a tour and on a trip. Experts know the specifics of the countries and hotels that sell and are well informed about all the important and necessary moments of the upcoming vacation. The tours are carried by very cool charismatic guides and in the end only the best memories remain!
A good agency. We went to a meeting when making a trip to Greece. They help with visa processing, there are discounts too. Upon arrival, I will add a review, so far everything is fine.
I went on bus tours with them more than once, I liked it most in Italy when we visited Limone Sul Garda. The specialists are friendly and competent, in general, I advise you. And I'm throwing photos from the trip too)
I had a chance to travel with a White Landmark on the trip "Italian Classics" on 06/29/2019. The most positive impressions, there is a great desire to return. Italy has conquered! Culture, nature, cuisine, the sea – everything is great! I liked Venice and Verona the most, and, of course, watching movies on the bus, which were just the topic.
I would like more time for shopping)
Special thanks to the accompanying Irina. She is very positive, it is a pleasure to listen to her! Excellent staff, rich program and comfortable accommodation.
Thank you for a great trip!
We went with this tour / operator in the spring of 2019 on the bus tour "Five Capitals of Europe" to the flowering of porridge dreams in Paris. Overall, the experience is excellent. Our escort was a young guy who explained everything in detail , told us , advised . In general, everything was very cool in this regard! I liked the guides too! The only fly in the ointment was at the very beginning a hotel in Poland -it's tin -it's damp, cold and stinks!!! True, a chic hotel in the Netherlands has slightly smoothed out these memories, but not a foot in this hotel anymore!!!
I went on the Five Capitals of Europe bus tour. It's just disgusting!!! Terrible tour organization! The complete absence of a tour plan and any strategy of action! Because of this, we did not visit anything from the declared list in Paris: neither the Louvre, nor Versailles, nor Disneyland, nor Normandy. At first, we waited 40 minutes for an empty bus with an escort who didn't even bother to call anyone from the group and warn them that he was delayed, and then we sat for 3 hours!!!!! 3 people from the whole group were waiting on the bus, who went up the Eiffel Tower, although it was clear to everyone that they would not meet the allotted time, and they did not give us these 3 hours for a walk, but said that they were about to come and so 3 hours passed. Someone was one step away from the dream of their life, to visit or visit the places they wanted so much, but no! We ran to the bus so as not to be late, and then for a total of 3 hours we sat on the bus in the center of Paris and just waited. Someone even cried because it was such a shame to waste time. When we arrived in Paris, the weather was great, and we had a sightseeing tour just on schedule, but no! We were drawn to the museum to buy perfume! Although this trip was scheduled for the 3rd day, when the weather was bad. Where is the logic at all?? The tour to Montparnasse was supposed to be in the daytime to see the city from above, we arrived there almost at night, and hungry, and those who did not go on the tour could go to the store, and then there would be no opportunity to buy groceries for today and tomorrow, i.e. you either go on an excursion for which you paid or you go hungry for 2 days. What kind of nonsense is this anyway? A local guide was supposed to conduct an excursion in each capital, but we always had only our escort and only in Warsaw there was a local guide, our escort also conducted the tour of Montmartre. There are also questions on this point. The bus we were traveling on is clearly not Euro class with all the amenities, I attach a photo. At first, there were even questions about hot water, that it would not be there!!! But when everyone started to get indignant, they began to allocate water from the master's shoulder. Everyone liked the capitals themselves very much, I recommend visiting them, but in no case not with this tour operator!!! So as not to waste your nerves, time and money.
Excellent travel agency! I went with them on 3 trips around Europe, everything was always organized at the highest level. There are very interesting tour programs and routes, and the accompanying groups are professionals in their field. I recommend it!
I went to Spain with my son. The trip was well organized, everything was included, the conditions were excellent. We took a break from working days and enjoyed the excursions. I recommend.
